[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 579415, member: 39190"] There are 4 factors that determine the changes in ranking points and thus rankings; 1 the team's current ranking which in this case was the biggest factor; NZ are so far ahead of France (in terms of ranking points if not ranking position) and thus favorites that France had literally nothing to lose. In fact they went up one spot because Wales dropped lower due to losing to Japan. 2 the margin; if you lose by 15+ the points exchanges becomes bigger 3 The team at home is considered at 3 points higher than their actual points. 4 in Rugby world cup games the points exchange double. Of course htis was not a factor here. So in effect the lower team has everything to gain and the higher team everything to lose. The closer the teams are in terms of points the smaller the margin of points exchange. [/QUOTE]
